A gem of a film which doesn't take itself too seriously

Rating: 8/10 (17 November 2013)

I thoroughly enjoyed his movie fro start to finish, even the comical parts which in an other film would have been out of place. I initially thought it was the follow up to cloverfield. But filmed totally differently but i think I am wrong about that.
There were some lines/ designs throughout the film which plays homage to star Wars, but done in a way which enhances the film.
This is a film that can be watched so many times over the fight scenes are great but are grounded by the actors. If the film has one problem it is the main character sounds a bit punch drunk and the acting is a little wooden but Sean slater (eastenders) is great apart from his slightly dodgy accent and Luther is awesome as always. It all ties together so undoubtedly thanks to del toro's direction and story telling which left me putting some pieces together which is clearly deliberate. There will hopefully be a sequel.
